Child-aware practice
‘Child Aware’ practice is an emerging concept in Australia. It involves building an organisational and workplace culture that embraces a range of practices and attitudes that aim to keep the ‘child in mind’. This practice needs to occur from a client’s first contact with a service through to their follow-up. This course aims to enhance understanding about the impact that adult problems may have on children and to support practitioners to think about children early in any contact with a parent. It ensures that families are supported to make and sustain changes so that they can better meet the needs of their children.

Words that work: A Core Story of Early Childhood
When it comes to early childhood development and learning, what we say and how we say it matters. The choices we make when we communicate have a huge impact on how people think, feel and behave. By thinking carefully about how we frame our communications, we can help drive change and improve outcomes for children. This course will help you communicate about early childhood in even more powerful ways. It unpacks insights from rigorous research, showing how you can put them into practice, in ways that work for you.
